service

A machine-readable name identifying a specific service to which this account connects, or a copy of protocol if there is no more specific service.

Well-known names for various services can be found in the Telepathy D-Bus Interface Specification.

For instance, accounts for the "jabber" protocol should have the service names "google-talk", "ovi-chat", "facebook" and "lj-talk" for accounts that connect to Google Talk, Ovi Chat, Facebook and Livejournal, respectively, and this property will be "jabber" for accounts that connect to a generic Jabber server.

To change this property, use set_service_async.
